How to Confirm Whether IVF Is Covered in Your TATA AIG - Medicare Premier Policy

Brochures rarely spell out whether maternity or IVF is fully covered, and the fine print does the real talking. Here's how to read your TATA AIG - Medicare Premier Policy:

Scan for terms like “Maternity Benefit”, “Family Planning”, “Assisted Reproductive Treatments”, “Fertility Expenses”, and “Pregnancy Complications”.
Confirm the waiting periods: maternity and IVF typically carry 9-48 month waits, even when covered.
Read the exclusions: IVF costs, outpatient treatments, and pre-existing pregnancy are frequently left out.
Note whether newborn coverage starts only after 90 days, which is common.
Check sub-limits and co-pay clauses: delivery may be capped (e.g., ₹50,000) or carry a 10-20% co-pay.
Watch for plans that require both spouses on the same policy to unlock maternity benefits.
Mind the trimester: if you are already pregnant, maternity add-ons may be refused based on your current trimester.
Some pregnancy health plans allow a maternity add-on for a small extra premium. Check whether TATA AIG - Medicare Premier Policy offers that option.

IVF Costs and the Financial Impact

IVF Is Expensive — Here's What to Expect

The bills around maternity and IVF add up fast. Here's where the heaviest costs land:

IVF costs: ₹40,000 - ₹2,00,000 per cycle
Maternity hospitalization: ₹30,000 - ₹50,000 for delivery
C-sections or complications: ₹60,000 - ₹1,50,000
ICU costs for maternity complications: ₹18,000–₹30,000 per day

Know how your policy's limits sit against these numbers, and plan ahead.

What Actually Happens When You Claim for IVF

Knowing the Clause Is Step One — Not the Finish Line

These are the kinds of problems expectant parents and IVF patients run into in practice:

Case 1: My maternity claim was rejected because my husband and I had not both completed the full waiting period.
Case 2: IVF was covered under my policy, but only 50% of the costs came back. The remaining 50% was capped by a sub-limit.
Case 3: My policy paid for the delivery but not the IVF treatment that led up to it. I had no idea IVF sat outside the standard maternity benefit.
Case 4: My newborn's vaccinations were not reimbursed because they were treated as outpatient care.
Case 5: My wife was already 6 months pregnant, and no insurer would issue a maternity policy at that trimester.

Knowing exactly what TATA AIG - Medicare Premier Policy covers — and what it doesn't — is what keeps this from happening to you.
